Personal Life

In 2007, William took a month-and-a-half long road trip through the country with SF natives, The Fucking Buckaroos; they passed through 23 states, Canada, and Mexico. The adventure was blessed—William was almost arrested for smoking weed in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, he was almost accosted by tweakers in an abandoned building on the border of El Paso, Texas, he was courted by Walt Curtis, the poet laureate of Oregon, he had midnight roman candle fights with Appalachian squatters in Indianapolis and he even threw up on the steps of the Alamo after being bitten by over 60 mosquitoes in Louisiana. It was on this journey that William learned he loved meeting people and experiencing new things.

Pets

After living in Upstate New York for a year and discovering the yearly migration of "Cricket frogs " near his apartment, William fell in love with frogs. He used to be the proud owner of two Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis , or tiger-legged monkey frogs, but had to donate them to a pet store when he moved out of New York. William also has a cat named Ewok A.B. Devito (the A.B. stands for "Angry Boner") who lives with his father in Northern California.
